A Stir Caused at Santiago by the Report.
The Disbandment of Cuban
Contilfuing. Col. Rowan is Making a

_ Tour of Inspection Through the Island
:5 of Cuba.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. i-14.—An un~
{.2
contradicted report has been received
by General Lawton saying that Gen-
eral Maximo Gomez, the insurgent
commander-in-chief, had tendered his
resignation of the command of the Cu-
ban army, to the Cuban government
at Camaguey, and that it has been ac-
cepted. . ‘
Gomez, it appears, has been protest—
ing against the Cuban government‘
yielding the control of the affairs of
the island to the Americans. His ex-
planation for resigning was his dis-
approval . of “passive submission to
conditions tending to the practical dis-
crediting and retirement of the Cu-
ban republic, as such, and the estab—
lishing of the'absolute dominion of the
United States.”
The Cubans at Santiago were much
excited by the report, and there was an
animated scene at the San Carlos Club
Eyesterday when the matter'was dis-
cussed. The report was disbelleved by
many, who say that General Gomez’s
resignation at this time is utterly im—
probable. ..
lygthers, however, say that Gomez re-
sents the putting of the Cuban army
under the authority ’of‘the American
general and claims that the Cubans
should resist, even by force of arms,
if necessary; .
Generals Cabrea, Cactillo, Pedro, Pe-
rez-and other insurgent leaders have.
turned over their commands to Gen-'
eral Lawton.
MAXIMO GOMEZ.
General Perez has eight thousand
men in the vicinity of Guantanamo,
which he will dishand this week by
order of General Castillo. There is
now a general desire on the part of.
the Cuban army to disband, as the in-
surgents have learned that the ques-
tion of their back pay will not be con-
sidered by the Americans.
Lieutenant Colonel Rowan and Cap-
tain Park‘er, accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Carlos Garcia, son of Gen-
eral Garcia, and two other Cuban offi-
cers, arriVed here Monday on horse-
' back from Gibara, on. the north coast.
Colonel Rowan was sent‘ihere'by Gen-
eral Miles from Porto‘ Rico. He will
make observations in Cuba, geograph-
ical, climatic and military, for the
government. 'He was fitted out with
guides, horsesuand provisions by the
Cuban commander, Foria, at Gibara,
and visited Holguin, which is garri-
soned by. twelve thousand Spaniards
under General Luque.
Good health generally prevails among
both Cubans and Spaniards in the nor-
thern part of the island. The Span-
iards entertained Colonel Rowan and
his Cuban companions hospitably.
Ninth New York Coming Home.
Chickamauga Park, Sept. 14.—The
Ninth New York left for home yes-
terday, and only one regiment, the
Sixth United States volunteers, now
remains at Chickamauga. The de-
parting New Yorkers occupied four
trains, the first leaving about noon.
General Breckinridge and his staff
are expected to leave for Lexington,
Ky., to-day.
The majority of the sick in the hos-
pitals are improving rapidly, and in a
few weeks the last patient is expected
to be able to be moved. As soon as
the hospitals are emptied the Sixth
regiment will be moved elsewhere.
Swept Over the Falls at Niagara.
Buffalo, Sept. 14.——-Peter Schemm, a
brewer from Philadelphia, jumped
from the Goat island bridge at Niagara
Falls this morning and his body was
swept over the American falls.
He arrived at the falls last night
and registered at the New York Cen-
tral hotel. This morning he engaged
a carriage and went out for a drive.
At Goat island bridge he told the dri-
ver he would walk to get a better view
of the rapids, and when in the middle
of the bridge he shouted “Good bye!”
and leaped over the bridge.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich Sails.
Vancouver. B. 0., Sept. 14.—The Roy—
a1 steamship Empress of China has

of currency to the West and South
Tuesday through the sub-treasury
from Washington for local banks here, .
in exchange for gold, were 0 1y $225,-

ITALIANS SUFFER IN AUSTRIA. “,-
.Six_Perscvrls Killed in a. Riot at Trieste.
London, Sept. 14.—Dispatches from
.Vlenna say the. entire Austro-Hungo‘.
rian empire is infuriated against "the
Italians, as a result of‘the.assassin,'a.1
tion of the Empress Elizabeth‘and th‘lt
violent anti-Italian demonstrations
have taken place at Trieste, Where the
(Italians. and natives have beeniflght-
,ing in the streets with *stigks‘and
stones, sometimes using revolvers. Six
deaths are reported to havef'oécurred
there, and the troops were called out
to suppress the disturbances.
At Gratz an Italian peddler has been
lynched, and at Vienna'fully 1,500 Ital-
ians employed on the miinicipal works
have been summarily dismissed in or-
der to avert a popular revolt, and the
Italian embassy there is guarded by a
strong body of infantry.
Rome, Sept. 14.—The anti-Italian de-
'monstrations in Austria have made a
deep impression here. The newspapers
urge the government to see that Ital-
ians are protected fri'n unjustifiable
attacks. Numbers of‘ talian working-
men are returning to Italy owing to the
threats of the Austrians. A
An Anaich'st mani o, signed by
“The Revolu ionary mittee,” has
been distributed in 11': during the
last few days. The lice yesterday
arrested an Italian who.was engaged
in distributing the manifesto. The
prisoner, who had just arrived from
Switzerland when he was seized, shou-
‘ted, "Long live Anarchy! Death to the
king!” Some of the persons in the
crowd at the time of the arrest inter-
fered with the police ocers who made
the capture, and several were injured
on both sides before the Anarchist was
lodged in the police station.
The newspapers here declare that the
recent riots in Milan began in a similar
manner.
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 14.—It is
asserted here that Luccheni, the An-
archist assassin of the empress of
Austria, being a foreigner, may be ex-
tradited to Austria.
NAVY YARD APPROPRIATION. '
Increased Appropriations to? Boil—skim}?!
New Docks and Improvements.
Washington, Sept. 14.—The 'bureau
chiefs of the navy department, ar ,pre-
paring estimates of appropriationsgfor
navy yards for the next fiscal'yéar.
These are in excess of the usuales-
timates on account of the increased
needs of the naval administrationFanq
although Congress will probably, be
more liberal than usual, there will
doubtless be a cutting down of the
original figures. .
The estimates submitted by the bu-
reau chiefs are subject to revision by
the secretary of the navy before they
are transmitted to Congress.
As they stand at present, provis'on
is to be fnadeifor the -New Yorki‘y rd
in the amou t¥;of.$1,000,000. This slim
is intended t prbvide,‘aside from rou-
tine expenses, for the quay wall ex-
tension, for buildings and for brick
sidewalks. The navy department will
ask for $500,000 for the Boston yard, to
provide for an electric plant, extension
of piers and-buildings.
Not less than~$300,000 is desired for
theex enses of the League Island yard
at Phi adelphia.
Besides these expenses, appropria-
tions will be askedfor to build the dry
docks at Boston and Portsmouth. The
Boston dry dock will be of gran'te and
the Portsmouth, dock of 'timbe . Bids
will soon be invited for building these
docks.

FUNERAL or THE EMPRESS
The Assassin of the Empress Elizabeth
May Be Handed Over to Austria for
Punishment. Preparations for the
Funeral. Demonstrations Against Itali-
ans Suppressed. '
Berlin, .Sept. 14.—-A dispatch from
Berne to the Frankfurter Zeitung says
the Swiss Federal government is sat—
isfied that Luccheni, the assassm of the
empress, belongs to a band whose pur-
pose is to assasisinate the rulers of
n countr es. .
Egggez‘ologne Gazette, in a leading
editorial, declares that Anarchists Will
no longer be tolerated in Germany,
where they have been harbored upon
their pretext that they were paupers
or persons fearing political persecution
in their own countries. They must be
made to carry their evxl purposes to
lands.
fo'll‘iignGazette recommends a prompt
understanding between the police all
through Germany, so that the free
transportation of Anarchists out of
the country may be accomplished by
simple discretionary action on the part
of the police.
' nna Sept. 14.-—According to state~
merdis made in the Swiss press, Luc—
cheni, the murderer of the Empress of
Austria, was the instrument of an An-
archist plot. The French-police knew
of the conspiracy, butidid not know
against whom it was directed. . ,.,
A dispatch received this morning
from Laibach, where anti—Italian de-
monstrations took place yesterday, re-
ports that order has been restored and
' thin is quiet.
“Eggperof William of Germany has no—
tified Emperor Francis Joseph, through
the German embassy here, thatrhe wfl.
attend the funeral of the empress: .
The body of the empress Will he in
state in the Hofburg church on Friday
and the funeral will take place on Sat-
urday afternoon; The body may be
seen by the public in the chapel of_St.
orae’s on Saturday. .
Giftir the funeral the cofi‘ln Will be
laid in the vault of the Capuchin
church. It will occupy a. posmon 1n
the center of the vault until the next
member of the house of Hapsburg dies,
when it will be removed to another
place.
Geneva, Sept. 14.—-The Tribune says
it is possible that Lucchini may not
escape the death penalty. As a for—
eigner, the paper says, he may be de-
livered over to Austria under the law
of extra territoriality, to which the
empress was subject at the time of her
death.
Trieste, Sept. 14.——Anti-Ita1ian riots
were renewed in this city last evening.
The mob was dispersed by the police
and the troops, who arrestetd twenty
of the rioters.
Rome, Sept. 14.——A dispatch from Mi-
lan says that copies of a revolutionary
manifesto have been circulated m that
city for the past few days. One man,
arrested in the act of distributing them
cried: “Death to kings! Long live
Anarchy!” .
In pursuit of their represswe measu
ures against Socialists and Anarchists
the police last night dissolved a so—
called musical society, believing it to
be a Socialistic club in disguise.

THE DREYFUS CASE.
Farther Discussion by the French Cabinet
Postponed Uutil Saturday
Paris, Sept. 14.-—The Rappel and the
say that at yesterday’s cabinet
_ Matin .-
‘rouncil the minister for war, General
‘Zurlinden, explained his reasons for
I opposing a revision of the Dreyfus case.
i The premier, M. Brisson, and the min-
' ister of education, M. Bourgeois, urged
General Zurlinden to change his deter-
mination, but the president, M. Faure,
sided with the minister for war, and
‘an excited discussion followed. The
council was adjourned until‘the after-
‘noon, when calmness was restored.
M. Bourgeois then pointed out the
consequences of the crisis, and further
discussion of the matter was adjourn-
ed until Saturday next. .
The newspapers here are unanimous
in expressing the opinion that the sit-
uation is serious. They say that .tem-
porizing will only delay the dec1sion,
which. if favorable to a revision of
the case, will cause the resignation of
General Zurlinden, and which, if hos—
tile, will lead to a withdrawal from
the cabinet of M. Brisson, and will re-
sult in a general crisis.
It.is rumored that in view of the
possible resignation of General Zur-
eral Brugere, who, it is said, is dis-
posed to accept the portfoho.
Three “’halers Lost.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.-—The sec~
retary'of the treasury has received the

tle of the revenue cutter Bear, at No-
ah Bay, lVash., September 12:

tion, he will ride in some of the Eng—
lish races. He has already been engag-
ed to. pilot the Lorlllard-Beresfo'rd
horses. He has made no contracts to
ride in this country next year and his
,plans are not settled.
Sending Supplies to Our Forces
Washington, Sept. 14.——Army subsist-
ence ocers continue to send supplies
to Manila in vast quantities. Regular
weekly shipments by the army line of
transports are now made to Santiago
and Ponce. The supplies shipped to
these points are not in great bulk, as
the forces in Cuba and Porto Rico are
. comparatively small.

BABY WASPS' WONDERFUL MEAL.
Spiders Paralyzed by the Sting, Living
for Months In That Condition.
The wasp is not a vegetarian like the
bee. and our cement maker has before
her the problem of supplying her young
with meat rather than with bread. As
her eggs are laid out in hot weather,
and as enough food must be ‘stored in
the cell with the egg to mature the
young insect, the question is how to
preserve the meat fresh for so long a.
time. She meets the difficulty thus:
After a tube is finished except one end,
which is (left open, she flies off on a
hunt for spiders. She finds a fat,
healthy one, pounces upon it, stings it.
and carries it off and places it in the
mud cell. She repeats this process un-
til she has placed as many spiders in
the tube as, according to her judgment,
will be needed. She then lays an egg
in the cell and walls up the opening.
The remarkable thing about this per--
formance is the magic effect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of, a
subtle poison, or whether it is the
special Spot in the spider’s nervous
spstexn where the sting is inserted we
do not know. Certain it is that after
being thus stung, the spider lives on in
a paralyzed condition for weeks and
even months. It can move only slight-
ly, and remains helpless in its mud
sepulchre until the wasp egg hatches
into 'a voracious grub, which at once
falls to and eats with great relish the
meat thus miraculously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the.
spider insensible to pain or not is a
question not yet settled. However,
the chances are in favor of the theory
that itdoes. Anyway, we need waste
no ‘sympa-thy on the spider, the most
bloodthirsty of all the little people of
the fields and woods. There is a sense
of retributive justice in the thought of
a spider helpless and at the mercy of a
small insect which it would have mer-
cilessly devoured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in-
dustrious cement maker of any unrea-
sonable cruelty if she, like us, insists
upon a meat diet for her young, nor
need we h-ave any fear of her sting, for
she seldom uses it as a weapon of of-
fense or defense—Chautauquan.
Barnacles on liletal Ships
In the old days of wooden ships the
boring insects which live in wood were
their chief foes. Teakwood acquired
its reputation as a shipbuilding ma-
terial because of its supposed immun-
ity from these vermin.
Steel ships suffer from barnacles,
which foul their bottoms much more
rapidly than they do wooden ones.
These strange marine growths are
sometimes as big as one’s fist and ad-
here to the metal plates with tremen- »
dous force, and besides impeding the
ship themselves they catch sea grass
and other rubbish and drag it through
the water.
'When a dry dock is not available
'metal ships have to have their bottoms
’cleaned by divers.
When the battle-
ship Massachusetts was recently
cleaned barnacles and grass covered
her hull to'such an extent that she
could not have made more than ten
and one-half knots an hour.—Chicago
Times-Herald.
AFRAID OF THE GL‘Ass EYE. ’i
Japanese Coolies Would Not Serve the
Owner of It. .
A year or two ago an artist from
San Francisco who wore a glass eye
came to Yokohama. and established
him-self in a little bungalow on the
outskirts of the city.
The weather was extremelv warm,
and before the stranger had become
settled he was besieged by a n-.mber
of coolies who wanted to get the job
of farming him at night. The artist
looked over the applicants and finally
selected an old man who brought ex-
cellent recommendations from his last
employer. ‘
When it was time to retire the artist
took out his glass eye, laid it on a
stand at his bedside and went to bed.
The old man picked up his fan and
the San Francisco man was soon fast
asleep. He slept peacefully for an hour
or two when he was awakened by a
chorus of buzzing insects about his
head. He looked about him and found
that the man whom he had hired to fan
him had gone.
The next 'morning when he went in
search of another coolie he_wa-s amazed
to discover that no one would work
for him. He was looked upon as a
wizard and worker of miracles, with
whom it was unsafe to be alone. The
old man had gone among his friends
and told how the Californian had taken
out his eye at night and laid it on a
stand in order that he might watch his
servant at night andgsee that he kept
his fan in motion. The old coolie‘s story
created such excitement that the San
Francisco man was never able to get
another Japanese “-to fan him after that.

Thu. Phinese Who Served with Dewey.
The Chinese servants ordinarily used
for fetching and carrying were im—
pressed into service, and showed cour-
age and skill. They showed as much
nerve as the Americans. They aided
at the whips and in lifting and carry-
ing the ammunition. Their faces were
as i-mpassive as when serving dinner in
Hong Kong harbor. They chattered to
'each other in their own language, and
laughed in their Celestial way when a
shot, striking the foremast, shook the‘
ship, caused the paint to scale off the
mast a foot from us, and theangle

tle' loudly. “Velly good," said one, and
